Congressman Fine Introduces the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act

Washington, DC - Today, Congressman Randy Fine introduced the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act, legislation designed to end the massive and reckless transfer of federal taxpayer dollars to non-citizens while Americans are buried under record debt. The federal government is projected to spend $177 billion on welfare for noncitizens between 2024 to 2034. This cannot continue in our country while we're currently $38 trillion in debt. Congressman Fine understands that and is introducing this bill to end the left's runaway gravy train of freebies for non-citizens. “Americans are being robbed,” said Congressman Randy Fine. "Somalians, illegals, and even legal immigrants are getting free handouts at the expense of American taxpayers. That is insane, it is immoral, and it must stop.” "Hardworking Americans should not be paying for non-citizens' healthcare, free housing, food stamps, Medicaid, or anything else for that matter. Citizens come first. Period,” Fine continued. "My legislation will ensure that non-citizens don't receive any government benefits from the taxpayer. If you want free stuff, then you need to go home." The No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act delivers a clear and decisive fix by: 1. Ending eligibility for federal welfare benefits for all non-citizens. 2. Eliminating all loopholes and carve-outs that allow non-citizens to access taxpayer-funded welfare programs. “Taxpayer-funded benefits are for Americans, not the world. We cannot save this country while continuing to reward illegal immigration and subsidize non-citizens with borrowed money from our children.” Congressman Fine is calling on his colleagues to stand with American taxpayers and move swiftly to pass the No Welfare for Non-Citizens Act and send it to President Trump's desk.
